Publisher Description

Bernhard Schlink burst onto the literary scene with the internationally best-selling Oprah's Book Club selection The Reader. Through his unique brand of gripping narrative, Schlink scores again with The Weekend, the tale of old friends who come together for a remarkable reunion. One of the group is a convicted murderer and terrorist, fresh out of prison and joined by his devoted sister. But another guest has remained true to the cause that might spell trouble for them all.

"(audio book) beautifully written, thought provoking. I particularly liked Karin's sermon near the end of the book, the one about truth & freedom. "

    " I liked this book. It's a story about a group of old friends that gather for the weekend when their friend Jorg gets released from prison. I had not read anything by Schlink before, but I think he does a good job at group dynamics. "

    " A short but very complex story about a war criminal being released from prison to a party of friends adn family who may or may have not put him in jail to begin with. Boring at times, exciting in others, not as good as "the Reader". "

    " BORING....had a good premise but all it really was was arguing..got about half way and couldn't see it changing up any time soon. "

    " I so loved The Reader and I was hoping I'd enjoy this as much. But what I loved about The Reader (perfect writing, great story) was here just sort of depressing and weird. Don't bother with this one - "

    " Audio -- translated from German in the mind of a former terrorist weird "
